Abstract:
In this talk we discuss the importance of randomness in cryptographic operations and how statistical tests can aid in detecting and quantifying deviations from true randomness. We explore statistical tests for randomness, including the NIST Statistical Test Suite and other commonly employed tests, along with their interpretation and limitations. Joint work with Ioana Corina Bogdan, Elena Corina Cipu.
